This thread is for August 2017 COTM **Nominations**PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE COTM NOMINATION RULES BEFORE PROCEEDING TO NOMINATE A MEMBER’S RIDE FOR COTM. REMEMBER, WE MUST PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE CONTEST SO THAT THE MOST DESERVING MEMBER WINS.
This thread is a Nomination Thread to nominate cars that will compete for this month's Car of the Month honor. The 12 (or less) most popularly nominated cars will be compiled into a *Voting Thread* in a couple of weeks. If you do not nominate a member's car for COTM, you can still second or third (fourth, fifth, so on) someone else's nomination. Cars must have at least a second nomination in order to make the Voting Thread.
Do not nominate your own car. Your car must be nominated by another TGO Member.
Do not ask your wife, husband, friends, extended family, etc. to register as TGO Members for the purpose of nominating your car.
Do not nominate more than one car.
Do not use multiple member accounts to nominate your own car or to nominate multiple cars.
This is not a picture thread. Post only one (1) good photo of the car you wish to nominate. Do not use unrealistic, overly-processed images.
You must post a picture with your nomination. This must be a full-sized picture (or at the very least, a pic or thumb that enlarges into a full-sized picture when you click on it).
Correctly identify the user name of the member who you nominate.
Correctly identify the year and model/trim of the car you nominate.
Do not nominate cars that are not in a high quality, finished state.
And if you are nominated, please DO go out and take an abundance of good quality photos of your ride (multiple angles, interior, engine) and make them publicly accessible (for example via a photo album in your public profile or some sort of hyperlink to your photo album.)
**Editor's Note**
This year I would like to, for the most part, give the members who participate the freedom to choose nominees unencumbered by monthly qualifications of make, trim, and build-type. I have always said that TGO Members do an excellent job of choosing a variety of different types of cars. The one caveat however is this: We need to try to get some new blood into the nomination process. If your buddy (or a member who has a car that you really appreciate) has been nominated two or three times in 2016...and 2015, lets maybe give it a rest for a while. It gets old, even for the guy who has to copy and paste a campaign in the Voting Thread every other month. The same high standards are still in place. The COTM Bait Thread is still open in the sticky section. Refer to it. Add to it.
*****This Month's Criteria*****
OPEN SEASON
Any very high quality, finished, stock or modified 1982-92 Camaro or Firebird.
I'd like to nominate TKO500's gorgeous '91 B4C RS that he owned in high school, sold in the 90s, then bought back recently and restored himself after an exhaustive search for that particular car. Love this car!!!

I would like to nominate Deeznuts94! He is a local guy with a huge passion for these cars. His 91' Z28 sports the C&C TTops, 350 TPI, and a beautiful red leather interior.
How ironic. I saw deeznuts94's 1991 Z28 for the first time last night in a thread he responded to. Thought it was worthy of a COTM nomination. Guess I will second.
Chazman and Mac10, it is an honor that y'all noticed my car and I greatly appreciate it! However my car is not quite ready for COTM, it literally came out of the grave and got a major cleaning and lots of buffing/polish. Pictures make it look more than it truly is. The spoiler is trashed and front panel alignment is horrible. I've spent most of my attention to the drivetrain. My plan is a complete teardown and restoration but right now it's just a driver. I would fell terrible taking a nomination from a more deserving individual. I greatly and humbly appreciate it but my car is nothing more than a good 40 footer at the moment.

So, lets do this...
I've withdrawn Jbuchanan's nomination. When a man says his car is not ready for COTM, I am inclined to take him at his word and defer to his judgement...usually.
There is still time for Chazman and maks10 to make new nominations.
All and all, this months list of nominees is coming together nicely.
Thank you, Jbuchanan, for the courtesy, quality control, and integrity.

Appreciate the kind words and definitely appreciate the nomination, give me time and I will hopefully have nice enough to be reconsidered. Got to get my oldest through highschool and college first so right now happy with my bird being the daily driver she is.

definitely understand, good luck and great work so far!
Great to see these "new blood" cars this month. Almost had a full line up of "new blood" cars last month. It strikes interest in some people that get tired of the same cars always nominated over and over every year.
You are right, I went back and read it. I obviously didn't read the bait thread clearly, for some reason I had it in my head it was about works in progress but after rereading it and seeing the caliber of cars I edited it and took my post and pictures out. Sorry for the confusion and thank you for pointing that out.
I'd like to nominate tglennon11's Camaro. This car is truly an amazing transformation.
It's an '87 IROC. In the future, please include the model year, and sub-model with your nomination so that I don't have to go and look up that information.
And, not to come down too hard on you, but obviously, it is preferred that the image does not include...cell phone data.

Gotcha, sorry about the snapshot with the cell phone. I will get my teenager to show me how to post others pics. I'm not very tech savvy with phones or computers.
